Of course, you completely missed the key point: we were talking about
cloud sites, and you are talking getting dedicated hardware. To sign up for
cloud sites, you fill out some contact and CC info, and you're up and running
in minutes.

Which is one of the reasons they have a qualifying process up front.
Rackspace is not for someone looking for the cheapest way to go; they're more
of a Nordstroms instead of a Wal-Mart. You're going to pay a lot more at
Nordstroms, but you will have much better quality and service; if that's
important to you, the extra cost is more than worth it.
